Favorite would be GS Spring Drive. Not quite sure which one would be my fave, I feel like I come away with a new favorite every time I look at their offerings. Right now I like the SLGB003.

I want to like Bulova Precisionist watches because they do a 'smooth second hand' thing for far cheaper than a GS Spring Drive. But man, most of their watches are pretty ugly. I could maybe wear a Super Seville, but at the same time I think these 70s looks are going to go back to looking really dated.

I like this Timex / J. Crew collaboration. The brook trout is neat, so is the woven strap. I might try to get this.

Breitling has a bunch of NFL licensed watches. The ones with the team logo on the face are atrocious. But they do a GMT with no logo on the face for each team, and some of them are pretty decent (depending on your team colors). I'm a Packer fan and I think this looks quite nice actually.

I, uh, sort of like some Swatches. When I was a kid, some mean kid smashed a neon watch of mine. So I sort of want to get a neon Swatch. And I also think some of their art-themed watches are kinda cool, like the Monet or Pollack ones
